Kid Rock reaches out to robbery victim

Harrison, Ohio -- U.S. rapper Kid Rock sent a little surprise to a Papa John pizza delivery man viciously beaten and robbed in Ohio last month -- a $1,500 check.

Harry Colyer, 28, of Harrison, Ohio, said he found the check earlier this week when he was released from a Cincinnati hospital after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his face, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

"I didn't expect it and didn't ask for it, but it was certainly a very nice thing to do," Colyer told the newspaper.

While in town for a July 22 concert, Kid Rock decided to help Colyer after reading a story about the attack, said Nick Stern, a New York City representative of the musician.
