Man jailed for assaulting woman during her video call with Barron Trump
A Russian man has been jailed for four years for assaulting a woman in an attack which was witnessed on a video call by Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron.
Matvei Rumiantsev drunkenly beat up the victim when he became jealous of her blossoming friendship with Mr Trump, 19, after she met him through social media.
During the assault, the 23-year-old answered a FaceTime call on her phone from Mr Trump and turned the camera to show her crying on the floor.
In a 999 call to City of London Police on January 18 last year, the US president’s son pleaded for help for the woman, telling the operator: “It’s really an emergency.
“I’m calling from the US, uh I just got a call from a girl, you know, she’s getting beat up.”
The woman herself managed to call 999 after enduring violence lasting an hour, telling the operator: “Please help me, I’m gonna get killed.”
