A woman has told a London court her life was saved by Barron Trump when he witnessed her being attacked by her ex-boyfriend.

The US President’s son contacted police in the UK after picking up a FaceTime call and seeing Matvei Rumiantsev allegedly hitting the woman,who cannot be named.

It is claimed that Rumiantsev,22,was jealous of her friendship with Donald Trump’s youngest son.

Jurors at Snaresbrook crown court heard a recording of his dramatic 999 call. He did not give his name,but told an operator: ‘I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up’.

After giving her address,he adds: ‘It’s really an emergency,please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up.’

When police arrived,footage from bodyworn cameras showed them telling her someone in the US had called.

She told them: ‘I’m friends with Barron Trump – Donald Trump’s son.’

One officer tells a colleague: ‘So apparently this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son.

‘This female is friends with Donald Trump’s son. She was on a FaceTime with him when this assault happened and he’s called us.’

When they ask her to phone him to confirm,she is heard saying: ‘Hello,Barron – did you call the police or anything?’

Barron replies: ‘I had someone call the police.’

Then he tells officers: ‘She called me. I picked up the phone expecting a nice hello or something.

‘I just saw a ceiling and could hear screaming. I could see a guy’s head on the phone,and then the camera turns to her crying and getting hit.’

That call was like a sign from God at that moment.’She told jurors Barron ‘would call me’ and that she missed ‘a few’ from him before a call got through,giving her the chance to get up after being ‘on my knees begging’.The barrister told her: ‘You invented this wholly untrue,fabricated account that he raped you on those two occasions – you were never raped.’The woman replied: ‘I didn’t invent that. That would be completely evil and disgraceful toward people who have been in that situation.’The trial continues.
