The military would take legal action against those responsible for the abuse, said the statement, which came after a women's march in Cairo denouncing attacks on female protesters.
"The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces expresses its strong regret to the great women of Egypt over transgressions that occurred during recent incidents in the protests outside parliament and the cabinet," it said in the statement.
The military respected women's right to take part in protests and had taken "all legal measures to hold accountable the people responsible for these violations," said the statement posted on the military's Facebook page.
