A 6 month old male dragon can easily become aggressive, for many reasons, when suddenly put in with two females. He is most likely entering puberty, as males can start around 6 months easily enough. Thus, chasing after the females he is most likely trying to mate with them, or at least dominate them. Also, if he is a large size for his age, or the females especially small, claiming his 'territory' could also explain his aggression.

If he starts injuring the females or doesn't eat, I suggest you put him back in his own cage. Better to find space for hatchlings without kicking him out of his home elsewhere. The stress of being moved isn't likely doing him any good either.
