New felony assault charge brought in Andover restaurant June assault incident

A 47-year-old Andover man accused of assaulting another man at an Andover restaurant in June is now facing a felony first-degree assault charge from the Anoka County Attorney’s Office.

David Richard Clifford, an executive officer of the Minneapolis Police Department SWAT unit, was initially charged with felony third-degree assault after he was accused of punching a man in the face at the Tanner’s Station restaurant in Andover the evening of June 16. The punch allegedly caused the victim to fall backwards and hit his head on the ground.
