You've been pushed into the subway tracks, miraculously saved by an anonymous stranger and then reunited with said stranger—what do you do? If you are MTA worker Sabrina Scott you invite your hero, Derrick Oakes, over for a home cooked dinner of curried turkey and goat (FWIW, Scott's family also gave Oakes everything from cash to a pair of Nikes in gratitude). As Scott and her family toasted Oakes and his, they agreed that the only thing that would have made their celebration better would have been the capture of the man who pushed Scott into the tracks in the first place.
