I was marshalling arriving aircraft into gate. I made a signal to the Captain to stop. I also made a stop signal to the two wing walkers because the left engine was still running. I went to the front near the front tires of the aircraft and was about to grab the chock when suddenly I saw that the aircraft was moving forward fast. I immediately run in front of the aircraft to make a signal to the Captain to stop the aircraft. A safety personnel also waving and making a signal to the flight deck to stop. It stops an estimate of 5 feet past from the mark. Once it stops I and the safety personnel chocked the front tire of the aircraft. I put my headset on and talk to the flight deck and say is everything alright? Flight deck says they are all good and the brakes didn't work. I said alright I'm going to hook up the tow bar and the pushback tractor and push the plane few feet away. Conversation ends when I disconnect the headset.
Marshall; directing an aircraft into the gate; signals the captain to stop then advances to insert nose wheel chocks. Suddenly the aircraft is moving again and the Marshall scrambles to get clear and signal another stop. The captain informs that brake failure occurred. The aircraft is pushed back five feet to the correct parking mark.
