I think this is natural development for toddlers, they are often frustrated as they can't communicate their needs to us very well yet, but at the same time they are getting more expressive. We should get used to more tantrums during this age. Maybe when he's angry he doesn't want to be hugged so forcing him would be counterproductive. Give him some space to sort out his emotions but just be around if he needs you. Let him know it's OK to be frustrated sometimes.
