I would separate them immediately so they both get a chance to live happy hamster lives without being bullied. It must be very stressful for them to live like that and stress can make them ill.
Hamsters are solitary and territorial animals by nature. There is no need for them to have a companion. They do better on their own.
The squabbles can escalate at any time and turn into fights resulting in injuries or worse.
