The victim was a girl identified as Nastya M - and the child's 39-year-old nanny Gyulchehra Bobokulova, from Uzbekistan, has been arrested.
A woman was reportedly seen pulling the severed head out of a bag after being stopped by police at the metro station.
She is then said to have shouted that she had killed the child and was seen praying shortly before police swooped.

One eyewitness at the underground station told MK that the woman screamed: 'My child was killed…I will blow up everyone.'
The station was closed to passengers for some time, but no explosives were found on her.
According to Profile, a spokesman from the Investigative Committee of Russia said: 'Given the clearly inappropriate behaviour of the person detained, investigators immediately appointed her to a forensic psychiatric examination to determine their ability to realize the significance of their actions and deeds.'
Emergency services had earlier been called to an apartment nearby amid reports of black smoke billowing out windows. When they entered the building they found the child's body.
Investigators claim that the baby sitter waited until the parents of an older child had left the apartment before carrying out the murder and starting a fire.
The source in the Investigative committee told TASS: 'She waited until the parents with the elder child left the flat, then for unknown reason she killed the child, set fire to the apartment and left the scene.
'She was detained at the metro station Oktyabrskoe Pole.'
The dead girl, who is said to have had learning difficulties and could not walk, had a 15-year-old brother. Her family, from the Oryol region, was renting the apartment.
The girl's mother works in a wedding shop and her father is a technician at a mobile phone company.
The parents told police the nanny had been working for them for 18 months and a source told Interfax that she was on 'unknown' drugs.
