Barron Trump's friend says he saved her life by calling police after hearing alleged abuse: Report

A friend of first son Barron Trump told a British court that President Donald Trump's youngest son saved her life after he heard her getting abused by an ex-boyfriend on a video call last year, Metro UK reported Wednesday.

The alleged incident took place on Jan. 18, 2025, while Barron Trump was in the United States, and just days before his father was inaugurated. 

The unidentified friend, who cannot be named, called Barron Trump on FaceTime while she was being abused by ex-boyfriend 22-year-old Matvei Rumianstev, who was allegedly jealous of her friendship with the young Trump. 

Barron Trump reportedly called emergency services in the United Kingdom and told them about the video call where he heard his friend getting "beaten up." 

“I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up," he told the operators, per Metro UK, and gave them her address. "It’s really an emergency, please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up.’

Police on the scene reportedly told the friend that they received a call from someone in the United States, but did not state who it was, and she confirmed she was a friend of Barron Trump's. She also called Barron Trump to confirm he called police. 

The young Trump told police that all he could see in the 10-15 second video call was the ceiling but heard the girl screaming, crying and being hit.

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

The White House has not commented on the incident.
