In the early hours of 18 January 2025, Barron Trump, the youngest son of US President Donald Trump, dialled London emergency services from America after glimpsing his friend being savagely beaten during a FaceTime call, a frantic intervention that helped secure the conviction of her Russian attacker, Matvei Rumiantsev.
The 20-year-old, then 19, apologised profusely for seeming 'rude' to the operator as he pleaded for urgent help, insisting the woman was in mortal danger in an east London flat. Rumiantsev, 22 at the time, was this week jailed for four years at Snaresbrook Crown Court after a jury found him guilty of assault and perverting the course of justice.
