Beckham fined $1,000 by MLS for conduct toward fan

NEW YORK — David Beckham has been fined $1,000 by Major League Soccer for his conduct toward a fan during an exhibition game.

MLS commissioner Don Garber fined the English star Friday, five days after Beckham confronted Galaxy fans in a group called the L.A. Riot Squad. The Galaxy and AC Milan played to a 2-2 tie. Beckham played with AC Milan this year and was booed through much of the game.

At halftime, Beckham walked toward the group while shouting and pointing. He challenged fans to meet him on the field and tried to lift himself over advertising boards before security intervened. Police arrested a fan who left the stands.
