A man accused of kidnapping and attempting to sexually abuse a woman is being held on no bond after his appearance in a Broward court Wednesday, authorities said.
Sayyid Khan, 20, told police on Tuesday that he planned to kidnap and rape a stranger, a Pembroke Pines Police arrest report said.
“He woke up that morning with the intent of raping someone, and he was going to follow through with that fantasy,” Pembroke Pines Police Capt. Al Xiques said.
He got a large knife, replica handgun, duct tape, gloves and dressed in dark clothes, and found a woman driving on Pines Boulevard, the report said.
Khan followed the woman to her house and tailgated into the gated community. He watched the woman get out of her car, approched her at gunpoint and forced her into a vehicle, authorities said.
The woman’s brother heard her screaming for help and called police, who sent out an advisory for the car.

Khan fled the scene and hid in a nearby landscaping, but the woman, who was still in possession of her cellphone, called 911.
Surveillance video that showed the kidnapping was recovered from the Pembroke Pines apartment complex, police said.
Khan is being held without bond at the Broward County Jail on numerous charges, including kidnapping and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, online Broward Sheriff's Office jail records said. It wasn’t immediately known if he had an attorney.
