Fredi Rivero, 75, believed to be a Bolivian national, was found injured at the scene on Seven Sisters Road in Islington, north London, at 11.35pm on Thursday evening.
He was taken to hospital but died on Friday morning.
Three teenage girls, aged 14, 16 and 17, who cannot be named because of their age, will appear at Highbury Magistrates Court on Monday.
A special post-mortem examination into Fredi’s death will be carried out soon. His family is being supported by specialist officers.
Superintendent Annmarie Cowley said: ‘I know this death will cause shock and very real concern in Holloway and the wider Islington area. I share those concerns, and I want to assure local people that a thorough police investigation is under way.
‘There are additional police patrols in the local area. I urge local people to speak with these officers if you have any information or any concerns. The officers are there to support you, and they will be in and around Holloway throughout the weekend.’
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller, who is leading the murder investigation, said: ‘Specialists from across the Met have been working at pace to establish exactly what happened.
‘Every possible line of inquiry is being followed, and this includes forensic work and ongoing enquiries to identify all available CCTV.
‘I am grateful to those members of the public who have contacted police already. I urge anyone who saw the incident but has yet to contact police to please get in touch and share what they know.’
