In the suit, they even claim that their cameras and bags were taken from them, tossed into the back of Kid Rock's limo, and were left on the pavement severely beaten while the Boo Yaa Tribe and Kid Rock drove off. They are citing personal injury for the musicians' part in the attack, and general negligence against the Roosevelt Hotel for allowing the beating to take place on their premises because "they did not supervise, patrol, or monitor the area outside Teddy's Night Club," according to the documents.
