NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- A New York Metropolitan Transit Authority employee was rescued from subway tracks by an unidentified "good Samaritan" who vanished afterward, officials said.
Sabrina Scott, 39, a five-year MTA employee who monitors bus times and tracks bus capacity, was knocked to the tracks after being harassed by a man on the platform Saturday, the New York Daily News reported.
The clean-shaven man chased her around a locked stairwell in the center of the subway platform, repeating, "Are you scared of me?" the Daily News said.
Scott, alone on the platform, cried out for assistance as she tried to dodge the man. Another man, described as a tall black man in a ball cap and wearing headphones, came over and began to tussle with Scott's attacker, the Daily News said.
The attacker hit Scott in the head, and as the two men fought, they knocked into her. She fell to the tracks, unconscious.
The black man rescued Scott from the tracks, and she came to when paramedics were carrying her out of the station, the newspaper reported.
Scott was in a hospital intensive care unit with a concussion, a gash on her head, a badly bruised leg and a dislocated thumb but is expected to recover completely, the newspaper said.
Transport Workers Union Local 100 President John Samuelsen said the incident points up the need for platform screen doors.
Scott's family said they would like the mystery rescuer to come forward.
"We'd like to thank him personally and take him out to dinner," said Scott's sister.
Police were searching for Scott's attacker, the newspaper said.
