Donald Trump’s son Barron was told to “stop being rude” when he called British cops to report an attack on a female friend, a court has heard. The US president’s youngest son, 19, frantically raised the alarm after witnessing the incident on FaceTime.

He was in America when he video-called the alleged victim in London and is said to have seen Russian Matvei Rumiantsev grab her hair and push her to the floor while shouting “you are not worth anything”, Snaresbrook crown court was told.

Barron phoned the police immediately last January. Jurors this week heard a recording of his dramatic 999 call as Rumiantsev, 22, stood trial for actual bodily harm, intentional strangulation, perverting the course of justice and two counts of rape.

Barron did not give his name, but told an operator: “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten 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.”

Now, the full transcript of the call to the City of London Police has been released by the Crown Prosecution Service. The woman’s name has been redacted to preserve her right to anonymity under UK law.

Operator: “City of London Police, how can I help you?” Barron: “Oh I’m calling from the US, uh I just got a call from a girl, you know, she’s getting beat up. The address is (redacted).”

Operator: “Yeah.” Barron: “(Redacted). This was happening about eight minutes ago. I just figured out how to, how to call someone. Uh, uh it’s really an emergency.” Operator: “What’s her name?”

Barron: “Her name is (redacted).” Operator: “Her date of birth?” Barron: “She’s (inaudible), she’s (inaudible), it’s really an emergency please.” Operator: “Yeah I know, what’s her age?” Barron: “(Redacted).”

Operator: “(Redacted) how do you know her?” Barron: “I mean these details don’t matter, she’s getting beat up like I-” Operator: “Yeah I know but I need to take information from you, so how have you come by this information?”

Barron: “Uh I got a call from her with a guy beating her up.” Operator: “Okay how do you know her?” Barron: “I don’t think these details matter she’s getting beat up but okay fine, also I met her on social media, I don’t think that matters.”

Operator: “You know I can-” Barron: “She’s getting beat up.” Operator: “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. So how do you know her?”

Barron: “I met her on social media.” Operator: “OK.” Operator: “Know the partner’s name or the person that’s beating her up at all?”Barron: “No.” Operator: “And they’re at home, they’re not out into the street?” Barron: “Yes, correct.”

Barron: “She’s getting really badly beat up and the call was about eight minutes ago, I don’t know what could have happened by now.” Operator: “OK.” Barron: “So, sorry for being rude.”

Operator: “(Inaudible)”. Barron: “(Inaudible).” Barron: “For a reason I don’t know (inaudible).” Operator: “You saw a video on social media, what like a video call?” Barron: “No, No, I (inaudible) a video call.”

The court heard on Thursday that in an email reply to police in London investigating the allegations, who asked if Barron would be willing to provide a witness statement, the US president’s son wrote that what he saw was “very brief indeed but indeed prevalent”.

He said: “I didn’t expect her to pick up due to the time difference. The phone was picked up. The individual who answered was a shirtless man with darkish hair. This view lasted maybe one second… then the view flipped to the victim.

“I made two of my friends call the Met Police in the UK, even though they are in the US. As per evidence, I do not have any. I was told by the victim who I am very close with that this individual was giving her difficulty for a long time.”

Jurors heard that police replied to the email from Barron and did not receive a response to that or to a follow-up email sent on July 1.

Rumiantsev, who wore a blue suit and white shirt in the dock, denies the charges. The trial continues.
