A Brave Call: How A Young Man's Quick Thinking Might Have Saved A Life

In a surprising turn of events, a young man from the United States made a crucial call to the police in London. This call might have stopped a serious crime. The incident happened last year during a video call with a female friend. The friend was allegedly being attacked. The court heard about this during the trial of a 22-year-old man named Matvei Rumiantsev. He is accused of many serious crimes, including assault and rape. He says he is not guilty. The woman told the court that the young man's call to the police helped stop the attack. She said, \"He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment. \" The defense lawyer, however, said the woman's story is not true. They think the defendant only restrained her because she was acting violently.The young man, now 19 years old, called the police after seeing the attack on the video call. He told the police, \"I’m calling from the US, I just got a call from a girl… she’s getting beat up. \" He also said he saw a shirtless man with dark hair before the view switched to the victim. The woman had told him that the man had been causing her trouble for a long time. Police later asked the young man if he would give a witness statement. He said what he saw was brief but clear. He also said he did not expect the woman to pick up the phone due to the time difference. The trial is still ongoing, and no further comments have been made.
