Narrative:

After arrival at gate; the flight attendant disarmed door 2R and then proceeded to door 2L where he began opening the door without disarming it. Realizing his mistake; he attempted to disarm the door; but the gate agent outside the door began trying to open the door resisting the flight attendants attempt to close and disarm the door. The slide pack fell onto the cabin floor but did not inflate. Company personnel were summoned and took control of the situation. As captain; I was still in the cockpit finishing the last of my cleanup procedures and was unaware of the events as no one notified me. I became aware of the situation only when going to the door 2L area where I became aware of what was going on.
