The 34-year-old from Hornchurch was charged after two men, 58 and 26, and a 53-year-old woman were injured in Southbury Road, Enfield, at about 01:20 BST on Saturday.
Police said the victims' injuries did not require further treatment, and Ossei faces assault, aggravated assault, harassment and threatening behaviour charges.
He remains in custody and is due at Highbury Magistrates' Court on Monday, as the Metropolitan Police said it would keep working with Jewish communities across London.
