He then takes what appears to be a tub of yoghurt from a shelf and angrily throws it over their heads.
Meanwhile, the country's judiciary said the two women were detained for showing their hair, which is illegal in Iran.
The man has also been arrested for disturbing the public order, it added as quoted by BBC.
The arrests occurred even after the country witnessed several months of protests over the demand to end the compulsory wearing of the hijab (headscarf).
Iran witnessed the spread of protest after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who was detained by morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab "improperly".
Thousands have been arrested and four protesters have been executed since December. But the authorities show no sign of relenting, reports BBC.
