More than a handful of Kingston Police vehicles surrounded a corner of Ontario Street in downtown Kingston on Wednesday night. Among them were about seven motorcycles and their riders, all a part of the Black Pistons Motorcycle Club.
According to its website, the group is a brotherhood, not a criminal organization
.
Just outside of the Landmark Condos, a resident captured photos of the scene from their balcony.
“We didn’t see the start of it,” said Les Jones, who was watching down from the fourth floor. “When we were there it was actually quite sedated. It felt like police were waiting for something. The block was partially cornered off so every now and again there would be cars trying to get through. But there was no actual real activity at the time.”
Jones said he had never heard of the Black Pistons and was curious as to what was going on.
“Police were around one motorbike that was parked but they weren’t doing anything with it. They were just around it.”
Const. Anthony Colangeli, media relations officer with the Kingston Police, an arrest was made in relation to an assault call. Police are calling it an isolated incident and not related to the condo or the city’s downtown. Colangeli said “it was an assault that occurred previous to him being stopped.”
As a result of the arrest, the owner’s motorcycle had to be towed off the roadway, “as the owner was in custody and wouldn’t be able to operate it,” Colangeli added.
At this point, Kingston Police didn’t have any additional information regarding the arrest or alleged assault.
The Whig-Standard reached out to the Black Pistons for comment but have not heard back.
