Barron Trump made emergency call in UK woman’s alleged assault

Barron Trump, the teenage son of President Donald Trump, called police to report an alleged assault in the United Kingdom last year, according to multiple reports.

In January 2025, Barron Trump made an emergency call to UK authorities to report that a woman he had met on social media was being assaulted. He told a dispatcher that he saw the woman being attacked when he video-called her, according to local reports from The London Standard, The Times, Sky News, Metro and other outlets.

The emergency call transcript was read aloud in Snaresbrook Crown Court on Jan. 22 in the trial of Matvei Rumiantsev, who is accused of assaulting the woman, the reports said.

Rumiantsev, who is charged with assault, actual bodily harm, two counts of rape, intentional strangulation and perverting the course of justice, denies the allegations against him, the reports said.

Woman told court Barron Trump’s call to police ‘helped save my life,’ reports say

The woman, who has not been named under UK privacy laws, testified in court that she had been in a relationship with Rumiantsev, who answered her phone when Barron Trump called, per reports.

On Barron Trump’s call, the woman reportedly testified, “He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment.”

In a transcript of Barron Trump’s emergency call published by the outlets, the president’s son told a dispatcher that the woman was “getting beat up.”

“It’s really an emergency, please,” he told the operator.

When asked how he knew the woman, Barron Trump reportedly said, “I don’t think these details matter she’s getting beat up but OK fine, also I met her on social media, I don’t think that matters.”

The operator responded, “Can you stop being rude and actually answer my questions. If you want to help the person, you’ll answer my questions clearly and precisely, thank you.”

After providing more information, Barron Trump told the operator, “sorry for being rude,” before hanging up, the reports said.

The Times and Metro reported that police bodycam video from the scene showed the woman telling officers: “I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son.”

One of the officers then tells a colleague: “So apparently this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son.”
