Sgt Valentine, 31, shot Mohamud with his Taser but the barbs got stuck in the knifeman's coat and failed to paralyse him.
The Sergeant was stabbed in the shoulder before The Suspect was wrestled to the ground and arrested.
Sgt Valentine said Mohamud was "dancing around, waving this Knife around" before he started to run at the officers.
"He probably closed a seven foot gap in half a second," he added.
"It was just like a dive, he flew, he probably jumped three or four foot off the ground and just sort of lunged, probably lunged at my head with his Knife . "
A woman and A Man in their 50s and a police sergeant were stabbedA second Kitchen Knife was found in Mohamud's waistband.
Greater Manchester Police said officers recovered a large amount of "counter-terrorism mindset material", including images and a document about How To carry out Knife attacks.
The defendant, a Dutch national from a Somali family, had arrived in the UK aged nine and became radicalised online, The Force said.
Mohamud was sectioned under the Mental Health Act following The Attack and taken to a secure Mental Health facility where he is currently detained.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan QC said: "The Prosecution 's case is that The Attack at Victoria Station was not simply a product of that mental illness.
"It was intended to be a lethal attack, carefully planned over A Number of months, reflecting the defendant's extremist ideology and his desire to perform violent jihad.
"The defendant's actions may have been disinhibited by his mental illness, but they were driven by an entrenched desire to undertake jihad against The West . "
The court heard how Mohamud has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and he will need treatment for the rest of his Life .
Mahdi Mohamud will be sentenced on Wednesday following the stabbing at Manchester Victoria Railway Station on New Year 's EveRebecca Trowler QC, defending, said Mohamud had first been admitted to a UK Mental Health hospital in December 2015.
He was also admitted to institutions in Somalia on three occasions in 2017 during which time he swung an axe at a nurse, stabbed a second nurse with a Knife in a separate attack, and also stabbed his uncle, the court heard.
His symptoms include hallucinations and "complex persecutory delusional beliefs" which led him to be believe his actions were being controlled as he followed by MI5 and the government.
In a letter to The Judge , Mohamud's father said he felt a "terrible sense of guilt" for not getting his son The Right treatment earlier and thanked police and The Emergency services.
Ms Trowler said the defendant's family had slipped anti-psychotic drugs into his food in The Days before The Attack and made him a doctor's appointment.
