Grand Prairie, TX (WFAA/CNN) - A Dallas woman who says she was kidnapped at gunpoint was able to call for help from a motel.

According to police, the woman was forced into a car at gunpoint Tuesday morning after leaving a nightclub.

The kidnapper then tried to sell the 20-year-old woman as a prostitute.

When the suspect stopped for gas, the woman ran to a nearby motel and called 911.

"You can tell she was extremely traumatized at whatever happened to lead her to that 911 call," said Detective Lyle Gensler with the Grand Prairie Police Department.

Police have charged four people with kidnapping or aggravated kidnapping.

The abducted woman was treated and released from a hospital.
