In the case of the box turtles, I think you could be seeing mating behaviors.

I would separate them. At the least, one of them in probably quite unhappy.
You didn't say which sort of tortoise you have. For some, a certain amount of aggression is a form of foreplay. But if one is getting injured, it's unlikely that you are seeing mating behaviors. I mention this just in case I'm wrong about what's gong on.
