In the video, the officers can be seen grabbing and pushing the woman, who resists their efforts. Toward the end, she is struck by one of the officers and falls to the ground.
Women's rights activists say the woman was then transferred to a Revolutionary Guard headquarters, where she was verbally abused before eventually being released.
The violent arrest comes amid an escalating crackdown on women for refusing to comply with strict hijab laws under the Noor Project, which was launched in April.
In recent months, numerous reports have emerged of women being beaten, tasered, sexually harassed, and jailed for defying the hijab rules.
