That looks exactly like reflections from a UV filter you have screwed
on your lens, to screw your night shots

I had a UV filter on my Nikon D200 and was in times square at
christmas, I took a shot that had a huge defect on the face of a
subject and thought the camera was defective. After much worry I took
the advice of those on here and took off the filter no more issues,
and that one picture is evidence IMO that those UV filters are just
more trobule then they are worth. I recommend you take the UV filter
off.
