The television station said that witness accounts included in an investigation report into the shooting said Menezes was seated on the train before being shot.
ITV said the report included quotes from a police surveillance officer describing how he wrapped his arms around Menezes as he sat.
"I grabbed the male in the denim jacket by wrapping both my arms around his torso, pinning his arms to his side.
"I then pushed him back on to the seat where he had been previously sitting... I then heard a gun shot very close to my left ear and was dragged away onto the floor of the carriage."
