Barron Trump ‘saved’ friend’s life by calling cops while she was being beaten by ex-boyfriend, she says

A friend of Barron Trump told a UK court he saved her life when he dialed police after seeing her being attacked by her ex-boyfriend on a FaceTime call.

The woman reached out to Trump in the midst of a violent dust-up with her former beau Matvei Rumianstev, 22, who allegedly started battering her because he was jealous of her friendship with the president’s son, Metro UK reports.

Trump, 19, who was in the US at the time, quickly called for help, telling emergency operators, “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up.”

After giving her address, he urged them to hurry to the scene.

“It’s really an emergency, please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up.”

During Rumianstev’s subsequent trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, the unidentified woman told the jury that the Trump scion “saved my life,” saying the call she placed last January was “a sign from God.”

Police responding to the scene of the emergency call told her someone in the US had called them but didn’t tell her who it was, bodycam footage showed.

During her conversation with the officers, she told them “I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son,” the outlet writes.

The officers asked her to call him back to confirm what she told them, and the footage captures her saying, “Hello, Barron — did you call the police or anything?”

He can be heard replying, “I had someone call the police,” telling officers, “she called me. I picked up the phone expecting a nice hello or something.”

Trump said all he could see was a ceiling on the video call — which lasted about 10-15 seconds before it cut off — but he heard his friend screaming, crying, and being hit.

“I called you guys; that was the best thing I could do. I wasn’t going to call back and threaten things to him because that would just make the situation worse.”

President Trump has credited Barron with helping secure him a second term in the White House thanks to his savviness with generation Z, who proved a key cohort in the 2024 election.

For instance, it was Barron who clued the campaign into which popular podcasts his father should make appearances on. During the campaign, then-candidate Trump went on 20 popular podcasts including “The Joe Rogan Experience” and “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von.”

By contrast, his opponent former Vice President Kamala Harris went on just eight.
