The transcript of a 999 emergency call made by Barron Trump has been released in court during the trial of Matvei Rumiantsev at Snaresbrook Crown Court. Rumiantsev, 22, has denied multiple charges, including assault and rape, following an alleged incident in January 2025. According to court proceedings, Barron contacted UK authorities after witnessing part of an alleged altercation during a video call with a woman whose identity remains protected for legal reasons. In the transcript, Barron is heard telling the operator he was calling from the United States and reporting that the woman was “getting beat up.” The operator pressed him for details about how he knew her and the circumstances, at one point telling him to “stop being rude” and answer questions clearly so officers could respond effectively. Barron later apologized during the call, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
In a subsequent witness statement, Barron said he had not expected the call to be answered due to the time difference but alleged that when it connected, he briefly saw a shirtless man and what appeared to be physical violence lasting only seconds. He told police he feared for the woman’s safety and contacted authorities immediately. During testimony, Rumiantsev claimed the incident stemmed from an argument and denied assaulting her, stating he had only restrained her arms. Prosecutors continue to examine the evidence, including the emergency call and witness accounts, as the trial proceeds.
