Sets in a run

The man slowly walks toward her, when suddenly he sets in a run.


Is "sets in a run" grammatical to mean that he suddenly started running? If not, is there another way to say it apart from "when suddenly he starts running"?

It doesn't sound fluent to me: sets in a run. I am from the US.

You need to change that.

The man walks toward her slowly, then suddenly breaks into a run.
