On arrival at the gate the aircraft's engines had been shut down and, when clearance was given from outside, the L2 door was opened. When the jetty was being manoeuvred into place it started to move upwards, out of control, and fouled the door. The operator used the 'EMERGENCY STOP' control to arrest the movement.
